Chat group: Journey to the West at the end of the law, investing in all worlds

Chapter 290 Su Yao: Huh? The Illusionary Dream Realm takes the initiative to attack?

Where is the Empress?

The world of Chinese Paladin...

Having just returned to her own realm, before Su Yao could even calm herself down, a beam of azure light suddenly descended upon the world, revealing the appearance of a Mystic Maiden in the main hall of the Qionghua Sect.

His brows furrowed, and he looked at Su Yao, whose aura had increased several times over, with a wary expression.

Why are you the only one who came back?

As she spoke, her magical power was already fluctuating, as if she would immediately take action to subdue Su Yao if she said anything wrong, in order to inquire about the Empress's safety.

However... her action made Su Yao laugh.

"The Daoist Master is about to attain enlightenment, so I have returned early to prepare a congratulatory gift for him."

She couldn't be bothered to argue with the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

I wasn't afraid before, but this time, the Daoist Master has returned with great fortune...

"As for Your Majesty..."

"That world is connected to countless other worlds, and the Empress is not alone."

"She must have gone to find another version of herself from another world."

"Him or me?"

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's brow and temple.

As a member of the Taoist community, she has a deep understanding of this "other self".

However, based solely on Su Yao's words...

"Sect Master, Chongguang requests an audience!"

Just as the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was about to say something, a mighty voice suddenly resounded in her ears.

The goddess of the Nine Heavens paused for a moment, then turned and vanished in a stream of light.

Seeing this, Su Yao did not make a move, but only glanced at it before looking towards the entrance of the main hall.

"come in!"

"……Yes!"

Chongguang entered the main hall with utmost respect, suppressing his excitement.

As he looked up to report to Su Yao, just like before, he suddenly froze.

"Sect...Sect Master, your cultivation has broken through again?"

He stared wide-eyed at Su Yao, whose appearance had been completely transformed, as if she were some kind of deity, enveloped by some kind of power, and incredibly divine.

Su Yao said calmly, "It was just a stroke of good fortune."

"This……"

"How's the collection mission you've been waiting for coming along?"

Without delaying on this matter, Su Yao looked at Chong Guang...

This trip to the realm of gods finally made her understand why those people in the group longed for it so much.

That spiritual energy, that vital energy...

Even if one does not attain the Dao and thus create the myriad heavens, one can still advance several levels in cultivation.

At this moment, to be honest... Su Yao had the illusion that she could turn her hand to make clouds and rain... and easily suppress the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

Under his gaze, Chongguang immediately snapped back to his senses.

"Reporting to the sect master, all the spirit pearls have been collected as you wished."

He made a hand seal, and instantly, beads radiating different colors flew out of his spatial magic bag.

At the same time, the water spirit pearl that Su Yao was keeping seemed to be attracted, and naturally slipped out of her hand to meet, intertwine, and connect with the other pearls.

"it is good!"

Su Yao was overjoyed and accepted the five elemental beads of wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth with a wave of her hand.

That way, even if things don't happen in a rush later, she'll still have something presentable.

She was pleased, but she still blurted out a question to Chongguang, who was still bowing, "How many more days until the Illusionary Dream Realm arrives at our Qionghua?"

"I was just about to report to the sect leader..."

Chongguang was startled, knowing that the main event was about to begin. "According to Elder Qingyang's observation, the Illusionary Realm will be able to approach our Qionghua in about two or three days."

"Two or three days?"

Su Yao's expression shifted, showing some surprise.

When I left, there was still some time left, how did it all happen in the blink of an eye...?

"Is the flow of time different between the realm of gods and my realm?"

Suddenly, Su Yao understood something and nodded to herself as she looked at Chong Guang.

"You all go and prepare."

I had two or three days to go there; I originally thought I would have to go find it myself.

After a pause, Su Yao remembered those who were connected with the Illusionary Dream Realm and continued, "Also, select a few disciples of good character to go with us."

"Thank you, Master!"

Elder Chongguang was overjoyed and immediately bowed down.

Su Yao gave a light "hmm" without caring at all.

This trip was quite an eye-opener, showing me how vast other worlds are, so naturally I want to gravitate towards them.

"By the way, Sect Master," Chongguang turned around, about to leave to tell his fellow disciples about this good news, when he remembered something, "Nephew Su Xin is back!"

"Su Xin?"

Su Yao was taken aback at first, but then a look of joy appeared on her face, which was different from her usual serious and cold demeanor.

“Yes,” Chongguang said respectfully, “After receiving instructions from the sect leader, while we were collecting the Four Spirit Pearls, we also sent people to look for our former fellow disciples.”

"I just happened to run into my junior apprentice, Su Xin, in the town at the foot of the mountain!"

"This is...good!"

Su Yao was overjoyed and suddenly rose from the sect leader's seat, transforming into a ray of light.

Su Xin... She was one of the few close friends in the Qionghua Sect.

She is competitive and doesn't easily admit defeat; she is generous, cheerful, humorous, and most importantly, she only trusts her useless senior sister.

This had given her a great deal of psychological comfort in the past.

Unfortunately, more than ten years ago, Junior Sister Su Xin had a conflict with someone in the sect and went down the mountain alone.

Now he has finally gotten his chance...

Su Yao was in a great mood and found Su Xin's location after a few twists and turns.

At this moment, she was on a mountaintop, gazing at the entire Qionghua with a somewhat melancholy and sorrowful expression.

More than a decade ago, Qionghua was one of the top sects in the Three Realms.

Unfortunately, the ascension incident resulted in the deaths and injuries of countless elders and disciples, including Master Taiqing Zhenren and Senior Brother Xuanzhen, leading to the gradual decline of the entire sect...

Therefore, the important task of becoming the sect leader fell to the not-so-outstanding senior sister of Master Taiqing.

At first, she did her best to assist her senior sister.

But he was young at the time and got into a conflict with someone in the sect... In a fit of anger, he went down the mountain.

She was gone for more than ten years. She did think about coming back along the way, but given her personality, wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing to come back?
So she lingered at the foot of Qionghua Mountain, while also worrying about her senior sister.

Especially now that yet another cycle has come full circle.

She was terrified that her senior sister would follow in the footsteps of a previous sect leader.

As it turned out, what I feared most came to pass.

Not long ago, Qionghua suddenly made another big move.

The disciples were all excited, and even the elders who had been in seclusion came out of the mountains.

Some disciples even specifically sought out those who had left the sect.

Out of concern for her senior sister, Su Xin had no choice but to show herself. After some conversation, she and the other disciples returned to this place that had left a deep impression on her and was of great importance.

Before arriving, she had hoped to persuade her senior sister to give up her dream of becoming an immortal.

When we arrived...

Looking at the sect's layout, which was different from the past, Su Xin was completely dumbfounded.

Later, he learned from other disciples that the sect no longer revered the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, but instead worshipped a new Taoist named "Primordial Daoist Venerable".

Furthermore, according to the disciples, Sect Master Su Yao has already become an immortal.

All of this seemed absurd to Su Xin.

Some people even seem to have gone mad.
But... if one person goes mad, it's impossible for the entire sect to go mad as well?

Moreover, judging from their cultivation levels, they don't seem to be faking it.

And so... Su Xin has remained in this unfamiliar environment until today.

The longer I stood there, the more alarmed I became.

The entire Qionghua sect has completely abandoned its previous cultivation methods and turned to practicing some divine and demonic arts, somewhat like folk magic tricks, or even magic shows.

But its power is not false or illusory.

Even the disciples of those sects were all deeply convinced of the possibility of becoming immortals.

"Senior sister, are you under too much pressure? Have you been bewitched by some demonic cultivator?"

Gazing at the fairyland-like Qionghua, Su Xin couldn't help but sigh.

The Lady of the Nine Heavens...

That's a powerful figure in the immortal realm, and my senior sister is ruining her lineage like this.

For the first time in a long time, a look of sorrow appeared on Su Xin's face.

Just then, a hearty laugh rang in my ears.

"Haha, you're overthinking it."

Su Xin paused for a moment, her heartbeat stopped, and she turned her head to look behind her. Sure enough, what came into view was a familiar yet unfamiliar figure.

The other person looked at me with a smile, yet also with a touch of wistfulness. That expression…

Su Xin parted her lips slightly and instantly recognized that this was the senior sister she knew.

However, that was not what Su Xin was focused on at the moment.

"Senior sister, have you really become an immortal?"

Ten years have passed, and I have aged considerably, but my senior sister still possesses unparalleled beauty and grace. She is surrounded by a faint aura of immortality, exuding a pure and ethereal aura, much like an immortal who has attained enlightenment.

All of this left Su Xin somewhat incredulous.

Su Yao was also deeply moved, looking at Su Xin's weathered face, "Junior sister, you've gotten old!"

Su Xin opened her mouth, but her lips trembled and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

"What...what exactly is going on?"

By now, she was absolutely certain that he was definitely not a demonic being.

Because no demon could disguise the "celestial aura" of an immortal so perfectly.

Under those eager gazes, Su Yao made no attempt to hide anything.

“A month ago, while I was in seclusion in a locked room, I suddenly joined a chat group…”

Su Xin was the person she trusted most in Qionghua. Even after more than ten years, Su Yao still trusted this former carefree junior sister.

Therefore, she doesn't mind revealing the truth.

Anyway, it wouldn't matter if it changed.

With her current cultivation level and innate talent, she has already transcended everything.

Yes, that's why she can ignore the guy secretly spying on her.

He then recounted in detail how he joined the chat group and the immense power of that Daoist master.

"My present state is also due to the kindness of that Daoist master."

"This……"

All-Heavens Chat Group...

Primordial Chaos, Limitless Primordial Qi, the Great Beginning Dao Venerable?
It can open up new realms with a wave of its hand... and even evolve into a realm of countless heavens...

Su Xin felt her head buzzing and couldn't quite understand.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, who had hidden herself, had a solemn expression.

This time, the account was told to Su Yao in person, so it was naturally much more detailed than what was collected last time.

She hadn't expected that person to be so terrifying; this empress had been...

Inevitably, a sense of worry arose in the heart of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

During this long period of time, Su Xin finally accepted the truth that her senior sister had obtained the power of destiny, but at the same time, she had some doubts about finding her and bringing her back.

"Then why did you call me back?"

With his current cultivation level, he was no match for Qionghua.

Su Yao didn't explain further, "Junior Sister, don't you want to stay young forever, attain immortality like your senior sister, become a carefree female immortal, or even one day attain the Dao and enjoy... supreme blessings?"

"This……"

Su Xin opened her mouth, and her heart began to pound uncontrollably.

If you were to say you saw your senior sister again, looking at her unchanged, even more aloof and youthful face, and not a trace of envy, practically no one would believe you.

Now my senior sister says she wants to share this good fortune with her...

“Hehe,” Su Yao smiled and gave her former junior sister a deep look. She pointed a ray of spiritual light with her finger. “This is the method I cultivate. The day when Dao Venerable attains enlightenment is coming soon. You should cultivate it as soon as possible. After I resolve the Illusionary Dream Realm in three days, I will take you there as the final congratulatory gift I have prepared for Dao Venerable.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Su Yao didn't linger. She flashed away from the cliff, leaving Su Xin alone.

Su Xin stood bewildered in the wind...

It took her a long time to process her emotions and then she opened the cultivation technique given to her by her senior sister.

"Eternal...Jade Scripture?"

He blinked, and inevitably, Su Xin sank in.

A moment later, she opened her eyes again.

"This... is completely different from the cultivation methods of this world?"

Su Xin had spent many years in the mortal world and considered herself to have seen a lot, but seeing the Eternal Jade Scripture... truly surprised her.

This technique differs from others, emphasizing the transformation of the body into jade.

As is well known, the formation of jade is a process that occurs over time.

This cultivation method is just like that; it starts out weak, but as time goes by, the practitioner's power will become stronger and stronger, and their physique will become more and more abnormal.

When one cultivates to a certain level, their lifespan becomes ridiculously long.

Compared to the cultivation methods of their own realm, it was like a dimensional reduction attack.

"No wonder Senior Sister was able to cultivate to immortality in such a short time."

Su Xin was deeply shocked and began to try cultivating the Eternal Jade Scripture.

This method was not difficult. With Chen Chu's insights in it, it was extremely simple for those of them who already had cultivation. In just a short while, she entered the door and began to transform her cultivation.

Su Xin... Although she hadn't cultivated for many years before leaving the mountain in a huff, her cultivation level hadn't declined.

This conversion also took a lot of time.

Moreover... because three days was too short, Su Yao did not leave any pills to help her cultivate.

This meant that it took Su Xin almost three days to complete the transformation, barely managing to convert all the magical power within her body into the power of the Eternal Jade Scripture, thus reaching the fifth realm in the Immortal Martial Arts...

"call!"

Slowly exhaling a breath of stale air, Su Xin clearly felt that her body had become much younger.

"No wonder the entire Qionghua Sect is so enthusiastic, this method... um?"

Suddenly, Su Xin, who was sitting cross-legged on the cliff, sensed something and looked up at the sky. He saw the whole world was in turmoil... The wind and clouds changed, and dark clouds and thunder covered the entire sky above the Qionghua Sect, as if divine punishment had arrived.

"This, this is..."

Su Xin's eyes narrowed suddenly as she couldn't help but recall that unpleasant memory from the past.

"The Realm of Illusion..."

She quickly got up and, in a flash, headed straight for the main hall of the Qionghua Sect.

When they arrived, the entire hall was filled with disciples, all of whom were elites from Qionghua. Each of them was on high alert with solemn expressions, and their auras were bursting forth.

"Senior sister!"

Su Xin looked at Su Yao in the main seat.

Su Yao nodded at her and then turned her gaze to the sky.

"It seems they're preparing to take the initiative this time."

Qionghua hasn't even made a move yet... but the Illusionary Realm has already taken the lead.

Su Yao's eyes were deep as she glanced at Liu Mengli, who was standing at the very front, behind Murong Ziying, wearing a high-waisted, floor-length dress, elegant wide sleeves, and a flowing gauze shawl.

Liu Mengli's eyelids twitched, and a sense of unease crept into her heart, her face showing apprehension.

"Could it be... that we've been discovered?"

The Primordial Dao is extremely mysterious... Su Yao had previously purchased quite a few Dao lineages.

Among them is the "Taiyin Meditation Method" of the Ghost Path.

This is to prevent the possibility that powerful beings in the Three Realms might attack her soul in the future.

It was precisely because of this that Liu Mengli awakened her power... and some time ago, through a dream, she went to the Illusionary Realm and met her mother.

She also learned about her own story and her grievances with Qionghua from her mother.

Without a doubt, as the future ruler of the Illusionary Dream Realm, Liu Mengli knew that the current Dream Eater clan could not possibly be a match for the overwhelmingly powerful Qionghua.

He directly handed over the cultivation technique he had obtained from Qionghua to his mother.

We need to help my mother develop as quickly as possible to compete with Qionghua for time.

After all, the Illusionary Dream Realm is in the air, and its spiritual power... to be honest, is countless times stronger than that of Mount Shu, the heart of Pangu, and Qionghua in Kunlun. Otherwise, the Qionghua sect leader would not have coveted the Illusionary Dream Realm thousands of years ago.

So they were a step behind, but it didn't mean they were without a chance.

Unexpectedly, after returning this time, the sect leader of the Immortal Realm seemed to have become even stronger, and the way he looked at her had become strange...

Just as Liu Mengli was lost in thought, believing she had been exposed, Su Yao, who was in the main seat, spoke up.

"Go!"

Her voice was cold and carried an undeniable authority that echoed throughout the hall.

"Since everyone else has made a move, there's no need for us to be cowards."

Elders Chongguang, Zonglian, and others were shocked and bowed to reply.

But at this moment, Su Yao added, "However... it can be suppressed, but its life must not be taken!"

The Illusionary Meditation Realm was the gift she prepared to give to Chen Chu upon his attainment of enlightenment.

If it's broken, it won't be presentable.

Moreover, the Dream Eater clan is not evil.

Although they are demons, they have lived in the Illusionary Realm for generations and have no contact with other demon realms.

They can travel in dreams, feeding on people's dreams and taking the moon as their spirit.

However, the dream-devouring beast will not harm people, nor will it easily spy on other people's dreams. If the dream-devouring beast is a nightmare, it will actually benefit humans, making it a beneficial monster.

In the myriad realms, this is considered a very special existence.

Since Su Yao has already foreseen the future and their origins, she will not repeat the same mistakes and do things like destroying entire families to achieve personal merit.

Moreover, Chen Chu advocated for equality among all paths.

They haven't even gotten close to the established order yet, and they're already doing things that disrespect tradition...

"Yes!"

Chongguang and the others were shocked and shouted in response. Then they turned around and rushed towards the outside world, turning into streaks of light and using their power to rush towards the Dream Eater that was falling from the sky towards them.
